Solve is an initiative of MIT. We believe that to achieve a more sustainable and equitable future for all, we need new voices and ideas. We launch open calls for exceptional and diverse solutions to the most pressing global challenges, from anyone, anywhere in the world. Selected innovators get the backing of MIT and our community of supporters to scale their impact and drive lasting change.
Solve is a natural offshoot of MIT’s mission to advance knowledge in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century.
Thanks to its supporters, Solve has mobilized over $70 million in funding for Solver teams and innovators. Together, we are solving the world’s most pressing problems.
Sponsorships are tailored to your unique social impact goals and areas of interest and can include prizes, innovation workshops, employee engagement opportunities, and more.
Donations support the most urgent needs of Solve's work, providing critical funds for all facets of our mission.
Catalyze nearly four times your investment in additional capital towards our Solver teams through Solve Innovation Future. Our philanthropic venture vehicle creates a pay-it-forward mechanism for social entrepreneurs and demonstrates renewable philanthropy for donors.
Run your own open innovation challenge to address a particular area of focus based on your CSR or impact goals and leverage Solve's signature methodology.
